FIRST EDITION. The publisher notes that the author, in this book, shows us where the genius of T.E. Lawrence really lay; 'making his hypnotic influence believable and explains the dedication to SEVEN PILLARS OF WISDOM giving us a deeper insight into that extraordinary work.... Through his own experience of Iraq and Egypt, his friendships with Arab statesmen, fellahin, bedouin and scholars, the author constantly sifts hard fact from misleading metaphor.

FIRST EDITION, EARLY IMPRESSION OF THIS IMPORTANT WORK. In 1929 it was suggested to Captain Liddell Hart that he write a considered study of the Arab Revolt and Colonel Lawrence's share in it. This book is the result. It gives a new interpretation of the Middle East campaigns for Jerusalem an Damascus, the major operations to which the Arab Revolt was tied.

Drafts of the chapters were necessarily submitted to Lawrence and a number of his notes and remembrances are included here, also for the first…

Large 8vo, publisher's original blueboards backed in light gray cloth, the upper cover and spine lettered in silver, and in the original dustjacket. 332, [8] pp. An as mint and completely pristine copy.

Everyone who is anyone in Central America passes through the doors of Harry Pendel's Panama City tailing shop. This makes him the perfect, though rather unusual, recruit for a corrupt British M16 agent in the days leading up to local government taking full control of the Canal Zone. In response to observations that the novel was a more light-hearted affair than his previous books, le Carré replied that, "I think I'm in the same mood as ever, but in some ways more mature.

Descripción:
London: Victor Gollancz Ltd, 1960. First edition. 8vo, publisher's original salmon cloth lettered on the spine in gilt, in the scarce original dustjacket of yellow paper printed in black and red. 320 pp. A very nice copy, the text just slightly mellowed due to the paper used in production, a bit of spotting at the prelims, the cloth fresh and bright and very nicely preserved, the jacket bright with some general mellowing and a little rubbing at the tips. A VERY BRIGHT FIRST EDITION OF THIS COMIC NOVEL, by, "the finest English comic novelist of the second half of the twentieth century." - Zachary Leader. The plot of TAKE A GIRL LIKE YOU follows traditional realistic conventions and has been compared to that of Samuel Richardson's 1748 novel CLARRISSA. Like Clarissa, our heroine is young, beautiful and virtuous and attempts to defend her virginity, but while providing every opportunity for the next assault on it.
